TOM MORELLO & BOOTS RILEY FORM STREET SWEEPER

Tom Morello and Boots Riley have joined forces to form the new musical group, Street Sweeper. The group recently wrapped recording sessions for their forthcoming debut album and their first tour ever will be opening all dates in North America on the Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction May-June Tour (confirmed dates below). The tour will find Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction sharing a stage for the first time since the debut of the Lollapalooza festival in 1991 (as well as the first tour by the original lineup of Jane’s Addiction in seventeen years).

“It’s revolutionary party jams,” said Morello of Street Sweeper. “It’s got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom.” Riley added, “This is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right. More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They’ll need something to listen to on their iPods while storming Wall Street.”
